From Mkini:

“Terengganu government is planning to log two forest reserves which is home to the critically endangered Sumatran rhinoceros and endangered Malayan tiger.

…

According to the DEIA (Detailed Environmental Impact Assessment), the site of the catchment area has already experienced changes of between 25 and 30 percent and new logging tracks have already been constructed,” said WWF-Malaysia.

…the logging will also affect the elephant population in the forests, where about one-third will be forced into nearby plantations, creating more human-elephant conflict.”

They don’t seem to understand the concept of forest reserves.

Let me help them a bit. From dictionary.com :

forest reserve : (noun) - an area of forest set aside and preserved by the government as a wilderness, national park, or the like.

I thought they did good when they granted Chagar Hutang to UMT to continue their turtle research and rehabilitation work.

But conservation takes much more than just a one-time effort. Only in Malaysia, it seems to me, that gazetted forest reserves can be logged for whatever purposes.

What a joke!
